Hello Everyone!
I’m Jay or James, whichever you prefer. I’m 38, turning 39 in July. I’m one of five in my Family to be diagnosed with Autism. Myself, my Better Half, both Nephews, and my youngest Cousin.
I was first diagnosed with Autism on November 22, 1989 at the age of 3 by the US Army. We...
I have certain little habits, bad habits, that drive me a bit crazy. One of those little habits is picking at my toenails, specifically the pinky toe. The toenail grows in unevenly, and maybe that's too much information, but I can't stop ripping the darn thing off. Like completely off, leaving...
Here I have written a satire kind of thing explaining what it's like to be inside my head and if you don't have all these signs then obviously you're not me.
Little stories from my life. I used to have a different blog, but it was written during a hard time, and I don't like to be reminded of it.
I likely won't be doing many blog entries in general but at the moment I'm feeling irate and need to vent. And unfortunately it's at this forum itself and some of the rules that I feel do more harm than good.
Like the zero "bad language" rule. First off bad language is relative to the person...
So why is it that I keep getting this statement throughout my life? Why do people think they can see autism when they look at someone? I was diagnosed with Aspergers before I was put on the autism spectrum. I was always very good at hiding my autism but I've always been told that it's because...
Hi! my name is Aster and this is my Thought Pit! sometimes i feel like a balloon full to bursting with thoughts with nowhere to put them so im gonna try to put them here! I say "try" because im absolutely HORRIBLE with maintaining any kind of habit long-term, and fully expect to completely...
I feel like the people here are walking all over me as if I don’t exist. And then if that’s not bad enough, there’s those kinds of people that DO recognize me but they are very dismissive and judgmental. Then when I manage to stand up for myself, I get dismissed once again being told that I’m...
“What about I write a whole prologue chapter about the absolute genocide of an entire town only populated by single mothers?”
“Kill the daughter instead, got it.”
“Dunno why you're gendering it. Dead dads and dead both-parents are also very common.”
“Often in stories there are few female...
I don't just do this, I embody this. It took me a while to realize this to fully comprehend this. Because my default state is sheer detachment. It never occurred to me that I could perhaps use that as a weapon to push new people away. Or keep the people I care about from getting in. It's like...

Hello I’m new to forum. Does anyone know if and where I’m aloud to blog about a controversial alternate medication that may or may not be legal everywhere that has changed my life? I would appreciate any and help… ohhh and I’m a virgin when it comes to forums or blogging in general so please...
I've been thinking about a lot of stuff, and I've come to a few conclusions. First off, I desperately need a community to belong to, because right now, I don't belong to any. A big part of as to why I don't comes from my autism; I have no strong interest in seeking out others. Except...unless I...
